Roommates

These are the profiles of my lovely roommates and I, propped on our mantle. I screen printed these images onto stained wooden plaques. This created a rustic look that I thought was interesting.

Ukrop's

This is a journal set made from recycled paper Ukrop's bags. Ukrop's is a grocery store in Virginia, and according to my roomie is going out of business... too bad, they have pretty bags.

Burlap Bags


These are clutch bags I made for my friends for Christmas. They are double sided with different fabrics on the front and back. I LOVE burlap, and I found some for cheap so I bought a lot and have been making lots of things from burlap.

Journal Set


This is a book set of four designed with a container. The container is the shape of an envelope, and there are four journals that are contained. The journals are bound with Japanese Stab Binding, and covered with beautiful textured paper that I love! This journal set is beautiful and elegant, perfect for a wedding present: includes guest book, a photo album or two, and a gift registry.

Indian Summer




This is one of my favorite projects I have worked on. It is a quilt that has been completely hand dyed using fiber reactive dyes using immersion dying techniques with various beaded details. It is made from different types of silk and cotton. The quilt is titled Indian Summer, and reflects deep and beautiful colors taken from beautiful Indian dye work.
